Will it play in ghent or in Brussels ? I wish I could attend!

I was in Ghent last month only. If one could time vacations with events such as these...

Hi Lilas, it will be played in Ghent  - and only once! ( incredible!!). I will try to attend - it takes me ca 45 minutes to  get in Ghent.
Ghent doesn't have a modern concerthall, but invested a lot of money in the Bijloke - site . More about that later - I must rush...

I think it goes well with this forum. As a classical music consumers, we're seeking for truth, for good works in the foggy forest of already composed music.
The hedgehog is searching for his baggage though. The light scene is the sweetest scene there.

Nice, Wurstwasser! (But I am missing Sibelius a bit...)

An avatar is the little picture you use to be immediately recognizable. Yours is some flower (?), mine is the composer Havergal Brian. This is page 26 - just click on 1 at the bottom of the page, and you'll get to the beginning of the thread.

It should be pointed out that most people have changed theirs since their initial identifications...

Huh? Changed it? How do you do that?

You better get your eyeballs checked. They keep rolling up and down.

Everyone knows who mine is, but the circumstances behind the photo are interesting. From ainola.fi:

Georg von Wendt, a physician and amateur photographer, took a series of colour photographs of Jean Sibelius in 1939. These were probably the only colour photographs of Sibelius ever taken.

OMG!  Sibelius was a white dude!

And you say this was the photographer?


(Looks as if he and old baldy had a lot in common!)
